vegas!

what a weekend.

friday
my roommate, meg's, bday is next week, and she had never been to vegas. so a couple months ago we planned this trip. we left provo friday night and chase, shannon's fiance, had us use his car because shannon's tires needed replacing and her oil changed, and chase just had his car worked on. we left at 7pm and at 8:30pm we noticed that the car was overheating. so we went to a gas station, looked under the hood, had a guy look at our car, and he said that we needed more coolant. we bought some, filled it half way, and started driving. but again, it overheated, so we topped it off with coolant. again, drove. but this time, decided to go back to provo and get another car. we started going 40mph, and went up to 70mph and it seemed as tho the faster we went, the  temp went down. but we spoke too soon and saw black smoke coming out of the hood! so we pulled over, and had chad come meet us. we all slept for 1 hour til he came. and we didn't get to st george til 3:30am! eh...

saturday
woke up at 8am. went to the st george temple, bear paw for breakfast, and then headed to la vegas at 1pm. we went directly to H&M!! i got some goood stuff. then we went to aldo and sweet thing happened to me there. i was just chatting with my roommate and a guy got my attention and he asked if i was going to be in town that weekend because he wanted me to be a hair model!! cool! i told him i was leaving the next day back up to utah, and he said to visit rusk1.com and sign up cause they do shows in slc a lot. cool huh!? then we went to zara, a european clothing company along the strip. i got good stuff there. then we ate at the venetian, and went to the ...
BLUEMAN GROUP SHOW! another cool thing that happened to me. first off, we were in the third row wearing ponchos. :) the pre-show was text that scrolled on a marque. first it said, welcome to the blueman group. start yelling! so everyone cheered. then it said, we have some special guests in the audience we would like to recognize. THEN it said, "will SARAH BURROUGHS" please stand up?" so i did, but i was so confused. i thought someone, like nate or thomas or my roommates were playing a joke on me. then the marque said, "sarah won the gold medal for curling in the 2010 winter olympics." haha. then i thought, oh i wasn't supposed to stand up. there's another girl named sarah burroughs here that actually won it. haha nope. they were referring to me. and then the whole audience said, "thank you sarah for winning the gold medal in curling in the winter 2010 olympics". then the marque said, can brian collins please stand up. brian invented a human genome. and then referred to others about random stuff. soo cool! i guess it was my day!
the show was amazing! meg sat next to me and we were cracking up the whole time! i think we had the most fun out of the whole audience. and the show made me want to learn the drums even more!
